The Artesa Carneros Chardonnay 2013 is an aromatic, well-balanced Chardonnay that was carefully harvested and produced in the cool climate of the Carneros region. The 2013 vintage is made from grapes which benefited from a long growing season, producing grapes of quality and intensity. On the nose, look for lemon-citrus and white blossom aromas. On the palate, fresh citrus and stone fruit are starring flavors. Hints of cedar and honey are imparted from the oak aging and contribute to a rich, generous mouthfeel. Enjoy Chardonnay like this with fish cakes, simply prepared salmon, or pasta in a cream sauce.
